Undergraduate English Research Grants

Each year, the Undergraduate English program awards a small number of Undergraduate Research and Travel Grants. In cases where majors are engaged in promising research projects, we would like to reimburse them, either fully or partially, for costs incurred by travel to archives, as well as for photocopying, permissions, reproductions, and other legitimate research expenses. Researchers must have a Faculty Director enthusiastically willing to oversee and sponsor the project.

To apply, please submit the following materials to the Undergraduate Chair:

• A detailed 500-1000 word proposal.
• A precise, researched, and itemized buget (with explanations where necessary) detailing costs. Please make clear which of these items are part of your grant request.
• A letter of support from your Faculty Director.

Successful applicants will be awarded a specific maximum budget. On submitting appropriate receipts, they will be reimbursed up to that maximum.

Applications will be read on a rolling basis until the money is exhausted. Applicants can apply for a grant in a given fiscal year as early as July 1st.
